I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

How about giving a handmade handkerchief as a gift? Handkerchiefs are used and swapped out every day, so it’s nice to have plenty of them.

Among handmade handkerchiefs, I especially recommend Scandinavian-style designs.

They’re stylish and have a mature vibe, so they’re likely to suit anyone.

To make one, first prepare a tenugui or fabric with a pattern you like, then sew it into a square.

The process is simple, so it’s perfect when you want to prepare lots of gifts.

Accessory pouch

It’s surprisingly hard to find a case you truly love for storing small items like earrings, rings, and necklaces.

A fabric accessory case that can keep your frequently used pieces together would be really handy to have.

Another nice point is that you can carry it around like a planner! It also makes a great gift, so give it a try! Using a solid fabric for the lining and a patterned fabric for the exterior creates a stylish finish.

Of course, if you prefer a simple look, solid × solid is also great! Thanks to the band with a snap, you don’t have to worry about the accessories inside falling out, which is another nice touch!

If you’re thinking of giving something practical as a gift, why not try making a perfectly round drawstring pouch? A round drawstring pouch is made by sewing together circular pieces of fabric.

It’s also palm-sized, so it’s great for organizing the inside of your bag.

The construction is simple enough to sew by hand, though a sewing machine will make it go more smoothly.

Start by choosing a fabric that suits the person you’re giving it to.

sacoche

sacoche

A great item we can recommend for short outings or for people who carry just a few things is a sacoche! Its simple design makes it easy to craft by hand, and it’s perfect not only for women but also as a gift for men.

Switching up the fabric pattern on the front and back makes it super stylish! You can also add an original tag to give it a finish that looks almost store-bought.

It’s a big plus to research the recipient’s favorite colors in advance.

The shoulder strap can be customized with fabric, faux leather, or real leather, so why not choose a material that matches the person’s style?

[Super Easy] Make a keychain with a magnet using fusible interfacing scraps 😆 Turn leftover scraps into a handy accessory 💖

keychain

Some fabrics have distinctive patterns, and precisely because of those designs, it can feel wasteful to throw away fabric scraps.

This piece is about turning those scraps into keychains so you can make practical use of them while also enjoying the fabric’s patterns.

The method is simple—wrapping a ring with a scrap and sewing it closed—but you can boost the keychain’s quality with small touches, like layering interfacing for durability or inserting a magnet.

The choice of fabric and the final shape can each showcase your personal style.
